Applesauce Brownies

Mom's recipe box has many brownie recipes. I have made Brownies Americana, Best-Ever Brownies, and Double Fudge Brownies. Like the Brownies Americana and Best-Ever Brownies, these Applesauce Brownies are cake-like brownies. So far, all the brownie recipes have been delicious. It seems that the only way that I would be able to determine which brownie recipe is my favorite is to make them all at once and do a side-by-side taste testing. Instead, I think I will just keep trying out new brownie recipes from Mom's recipe box. It will take some time to get through all the recipes.

Perhaps the use of applesauce is intended to make these brownies a little healthier. But these brownies are too delicious to be considered healthy in any way. So if you are looking for a tasty treat, give these brownies a try. I especially like to eat them when they are cold from being in the refrigerator. And, I think that they would be delicious with ice cream. As with any brownie recipe, you could add some chopped nuts to the recipe, but I usually leave them out.

Applesauce Brownies

• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda

Melt butter and chocolate in a heavy saucepan over low heat; remove from heat and beat in the sugar, eggs, applesauce and vanilla. Add in flour mixture and mix well. Pour into a greased 13x9x2 pan. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Enjoy!
